Looking for a fun family outing this weekend that won't hit your pocket?

South Florida's Everglades National Park is among the 401 national parks celebrating Presidents' Day by offering free admission from Saturday to Monday.

The park, best known for its boardwalks, wilderness trails and boating, is waiving the usual $10 per car or $5 each for pedestrians or cyclists ages 17 and older. It has entrance gates in Homestead and Miami.

The other national park in the tri-county area, Biscayne National Park, always has free admission.
